Lifted from Blue Oval News:
The Romeo, Michigan engine line which supplies engines for the Aviator, Mustang Cobra and other products is now closed.
According to sources, the number 7 and 8 cylinders of the Aviator's 4.6L V8 engine are failing between 7,000 and 30,000 miles. Sources also contend that Ford has tried to reroute the exhaust system and install a water pump that can pump more volume in an effort to keep the engine running cooler. It's not known if either one of those proposed changes worked or not. BlueOvalNews was also told that Ford Motor Company has shipped a pallet of finished left bank cylinder heads and a team of non-Ford employees of UAW local 985 to change the cylinder heads in the effected Aviators.
Is my engine going to go crump in the next 3,000 to 26,000 miles?
